Overview

A factory object that creates ListenableWorker instances. The factory is invoked every time a work runs. You can override the default implementation of this factory by manually initializing WorkManager (see WorkManager.initialize(Context, Configuration) and specifying a new WorkerFactory in Configuration.Builder.setWorkerFactory(WorkerFactory).

Summary

Constructors
publicWorkerFactory()

Methods
public abstract ListenableWorkercreateWorker(Context appContext, java.lang.String workerClassName, WorkerParameters workerParameters)

Override this method to implement your custom worker-creation logic.

public final ListenableWorkercreateWorkerWithDefaultFallback(Context appContext, java.lang.String workerClassName, WorkerParameters workerParameters)

Returns a new instance of the specified workerClassName given the arguments.

Constructors

public WorkerFactory()

Methods

public abstract ListenableWorker createWorker(Context appContext, java.lang.String workerClassName, WorkerParameters workerParameters)

Override this method to implement your custom worker-creation logic. Use Configuration.Builder.setWorkerFactory(WorkerFactory) to use your custom class.

Throwing an java.lang.Exception here will crash the application. If a WorkerFactory is unable to create an instance of the ListenableWorker, it should return null so it can delegate to the default WorkerFactory.

Returns a new instance of the specified workerClassName given the arguments. The returned worker must be a newly-created instance and must not have been previously returned or invoked by WorkManager. Otherwise, WorkManager will throw an java.lang.IllegalStateException.

Parameters:

appContext: The application context
workerClassName: The class name of the worker to create
workerParameters: Parameters for worker initialization

Returns:

A new ListenableWorker instance of type workerClassName, or null if the worker could not be created

public final ListenableWorker createWorkerWithDefaultFallback(Context appContext, java.lang.String workerClassName, WorkerParameters workerParameters)

Returns a new instance of the specified workerClassName given the arguments. If no worker is found, default reflection-based code will be used to instantiate the worker with the current ClassLoader. The returned worker should be a newly-created instance and must not have been previously returned or used by WorkManager.

Parameters:

appContext: The application context
workerClassName: The class name of the worker to create
workerParameters: Parameters for worker initialization

Returns:

A new ListenableWorker instance of type workerClassName, or null if the worker could not be created

public static WorkerFactory getDefaultWorkerFactory()

Returns:

A default WorkerFactory with no custom behavior
